Looking for a good 5.1 AVR

This forum has ben extremely helpful to me in the past re 2 channel systems and I must say that you did not steer me wrong.
Now, I have taken the path to home theatre and am looking for a good AVR receiver that is 5.1 and supports HDMI. I need about 90-100 watts of good, clean power and a unit that is able to deliver responsive Home Cinema sound and one that has good video capabilities. I know I am fussy here but value on AVR 's seems to have escalated in the past 5 years! Music performance is a plus but I have my dedicated 2 channel system for that already. My budget is modest, about $500-$700. So far, I am considering the Yammy Rx 665 and the Onkyo tx sr 706.
My speakers are 2 way 8 inch inwalls from RBH (5), a velodyne sub (OK not great, 8 inch)RBH speakers are 8 ohm, 90 db for sensitivity.

Any input is appreciated. I do not need multi zone capability, btw.

Any suggestions? Thak You,
